I had bhel puri in Kailash Parbhat once and totally loved it. Since we went for lunch buffet, the chaat items were unlimited. And we all enjoyed the delicious chaat very well. Since I made Sev for Diwali, and I had some puffed rice that I bought for Saraswathi pooja, I thought of making bhel puri/Poori at home. I thought first I will make the chutneys first today and tomorrow the chaat, but then could not control my craving for chaat and I was super bored today.
I made chutneys first, then made papdi. If we have these things ready, then all we have to do is some shaking business for mixing all the ingredients to make bhel puri. So if you want the chutney recipe, you can click on the ingredients list that will take you to the respective recipes. I referred Sailus food for this and also Jeyashri to get an idea about the ingredients. The ingredients can be added according to your taste bud. So feel free to experiment with the ingredients.
Firstly lets see the papdi recipe. This can be used in all varieties of chaat recipes…
Papdi recipe – Ingredients
Maida/ All purpose flour – 1 cup
Oil/ghee – 1 tblsp
Ajwain/Kalonji seeds – 1 tsp
Salt – As needed
Water – As needed
Oil – For deep frying
Oil/ghee – 1 tblsp
Ajwain/Kalonji seeds – 1 tsp
Salt – As needed
Water – As needed
Oil – For deep frying
Method:
- Mix flour, oil/ghee, ajwain and salt well and then add water to make a stiff dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
- Again knead well to form a smooth dough and roll into big thin circles. Cut into small circles using any lid or a round cookie cutter.
- Prick with fork to avoid puffing and deep fry in hot oil both sides in medium flame until golden in colour.
- Drain in paper towel and store in airtight container after cooling down.

This is making me crave for some now….Nice shot!
Immaculate Divya Bruno Sathyan, Sorry for the late reply, I think you should have added more water. Next time try to make a stiff dough, also cook in medium flame till it turns golden brown to turn crisp. Try pricking in more areas. Its very easy to get. Do try and see again
thanks raks for getting back …will try next time and let u know and I was pretty sure I added a wee bit more than required …but as I said the taste was gr8 …love u and my wishes n prayers for ur culinary pursuits…
Wonderful bhel poori raji. It can beat evening snack time for sure.
Awesome Bhel Puri…..feel to have it now.nice presentation..All the best
Keep growing 🙂
Luv the last pic,just feel like picking the bowl,..
Perfect Bhel puri…. Love your pictures!
Tried this bhel today n it turned out a big hit,…my 2 year old daughter loved the puris especially….
Your post is really amazing.
Bhei puri house
I tried this one too minus the sweet chutney & papdi, I used store bought mixture(the one sold in all sweet shops) instead for the crunch…came out good 🙂
Plese do mention how to prepare green and sweet chutney also
Click over the ingredients for the recipe link
it does not explain how green/swwet chutney is prepared or got??
I used to make bhel by dumping all ingredients at one go ..i knew it was a wrong method and then i found this on your site…followed ds n wow! It tastes superb!, hubby jst loved it! Thank uu Raks 🙂
I have only one question. Is the sev served hard right out of the package or do you cook it first?
Oftentimes I saute it lightly in butter before adding rice and water and let it simmer 20 minutes or so with my rice.
I am unsure how to use it in the Behl Puri recipe.
Excellent recipe.. Luv ur clicks a lot..
Can i skip ajwain n add cumin seeds for d papdi?
sure.
